The Abolition of Man
C. S. Lewis
Is education primarily about reading and writing, or should it also strive to develop morality? In his inimitable and eloquent style, Lewis offers three essays that reflect on society and nature and seek to persuade readers of the necessity of instilling within our students universal values such as honor and courage. As relevant today as when it was first published 60 years ago. (Christianbook)

He provides a road map of virture, a map for our earthly pilgrimage synthesized from the accumulated wisdom of centuries of Christians, from Paul and the early Church Fathers through C.S.Lewis.

The Confessions of St. Augustine
John K. Ryan

He has resisted temptations "to paraphrase and to substitute current expressions that correspond, more or less, to those that St. Augustine set down." (Christianbook)

The Cost of Discipleship
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Bonhoeffer speaks of "Cheap Grace": preaching forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, communion without confession. "Cheap Grace" is grace without discipleship. "Costly Grace" is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. "It's costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life." (Christianbook)

This rigorous -- yet readable! -- book is a great introduction to the controversy over evolution. (Christianbook)

Forced Exit: Euthanasia, Assisted Suicide, and the New Duty to Die
Wesley J. Smith
Doing violence to the human body disrespects God, and killing another person is the ultimate form of this disrespect.

This all contributes to the devaluing of human life and dehumanization of the human race, and that is unacceptable. (Christianbook)
